To compress files in Linux, you can use the tar command along with
gzip compression.
For example : If we want to create a file name “
shivaji” with gzip compression. We use the following command.
tar -czvf shivaji.tar.gz files?
This command will create a compressed archive file containg the specified “
files”
To decompress the same, we use the following command.
tar -xzvf shivaji.tar.gz?
